"Auntie, it's late, I'll take my leave too."
After Eriri left, Yukino didn't know how to interact with Misae and Himawari at all. She also stood up and chose to say goodbye, thinking in her heart about how to investigate the relationship between Eriri and Shinnosuke.
"Shin-chan!"
After Eriri and Yukino left, Misae stood up with a displeased face and walked towards Shinnosuke.
"I was so worried about you! I'm warning you, you must not be a scumbag who plays with women's feelings!"
"Mom, how could I!"
Whatever happened, Shinnosuke would never deceive a woman's feelings. In any relationship, he would face it seriously.
"Seeing you're alright, I feel relieved."
"Himawari and I should also go home, it's getting late."
Misae looked at the time; if they didn't go home soon, Himawari would sleep late.
"Goodbye, Onii-chan."
Himawari looked at Shinnosuke with pity. 'Forgive me, Onii-chan, I've already received too much from Sister-in-law Ai, there's no turning back!'
Escorting his mother and sister downstairs and watching them get into the car, Shinnosuke finally felt relieved.
"The busy weekend is finally over. Why was this weekend so tiring?"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the other side, Eriri was staring blankly at her phone. However, after thinking repeatedly, she suddenly realized that she didn't need to be so afraid and didn't need to feel guilty.
She was no longer the powerless Riri. Suotome Ai was also not with Shinnosuke. What was she actually afraid of?
Riri: {That's right! I did come to see Master today! So what?}
Unexpectedly, Eriri was quite brave, which made Ai even more interested.
Shinnosuke Only Girlfriend: {Oh? Did Riri greet Mother for me?}
Riri: {Auntie Misae is not your mother!}
Shinnosuke Only Girlfriend: {But I've been calling her Mother since I was five years old, you know.}
Teasing Eriri was really fun. Ai's slightly tired heart from being busy became lively again.
They chatted for a while, and Eriri realized that Ai didn't seem to be coming to scold her.
'That's right, Suotome Ai should feel guilty now. After all, in the other world, she was the one who left Shinnosuke, while she accompanied Shinnosuke until the end of his life!'
Thinking of this, Eriri felt more confident. Even though she was the daughter of the Suotome family, she had never lost to anyone!
What Eriri didn't know was that Ai didn't feel guilty, but rather calm because everything was under her control.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Shinnosuke had just arrived home and turned on his computer, wanting to play games for a while, when suddenly his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw an unknown number.
"Hello, excuse me, is this Nohara Shinnosuke?"
Picking up the phone, a gentle female voice came from the other end.
"Yes."
"Hello, I am Machida Sonoko, the new chief editor of Fujikawa Bunko. I'm calling to discuss the stock issue."
Sonoko was very excited. She had just joined Fujikawa Bunko not long ago, and the publisher was suddenly acquired by the famous Suotome Group! When the Young Miss Suotome came to inspect, she only spoke a few sentences to her and directly made her the chief editor!
Then, she was tasked with contacting this Nohara Shinnosuke regarding the stock issue and giving him dividends every month.
Although doing this was somewhat against the rules, the company and the money belonged to them, she was just an employee.
"Okay, please go ahead."
That day, when he parted ways with Hiratsuka Shizuka, the system told him that his task was completed and the shares had been transferred to his name.
However, how these shares should be used, whether they should be sold directly or kept, Shinnosuke wasn't very clear.
He had only planned to learn about this Fujikawa Bunko today, but the phone had already rung.
"Since the company has been acquired by the Suotome family, you are the only major shareholder besides the Suotome family. According to the group's company regulations, we will transfer the dividends to the bank account you provide every month."
'Acquired by the Suotome family? Ai is too considerate! But how did Ai know? Could it be that my every move is being watched by Ai?'
"Okay, no problem from my side."
"Alright then, this month's dividend will be transferred to your card in the middle of the month, which is in three days."
"If there is anything else, Director Nohara can contact me directly."
After hanging up the phone, Shinnosuke didn't feel anything special. He had no concept of money, wasn't very materialistic, and was easily satisfied.
Now he wanted to have a little funds in hand only because this could reduce a lot of trouble and he wouldn't have to worry about various trivial matters.
After all, it wasn't even the middle of the month yet, he had already bought a box of fruit for Eriri's family and bought a lot of snacks. The pocket money his father, Hiroshi, gave him wasn't much, it definitely wouldn't be enough until the end of the month.
Although he could work part-time if he ran out of money, Shinnosuke felt that his weekend time might be very tight and he wouldn't have time for part-time work.
After all, on weekends he had to relax, daydream, watch the latest episodes of anime, and also needed to practice kendo.
For kendo above the sixth dan, the kendo association would provide a considerable subsidy every month. After participating in tournaments, he also needed to take kendo dan examinations.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The next morning, Shuchi'in Academy, which had been quiet for two days, became lively again.
Shinnosuke came very early today, even earlier than Kazama.
"Shin-chan, why did you come so early?"
Kazama, who had attended extra classes all day yesterday and hadn't relaxed at all, looked a little tired.
He was slightly surprised to see Shinnosuke sleeping at his seat.
"By the way, today's physical education class has a football activity, do you want to participate?"
Kazama was the class president, all big and small matters in the class were his responsibility. In addition, there were many activities at Shuchi'in Academy. Today's physical education class had a football match. Although it was called a match, it was just a leisure sports activity.
"Forget it, I'm not interested."
Kazama nodded, as he expected, Shinnosuke definitely wouldn't be interested in this kind of activity.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The first class was still Japanese language, but today Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't even dare to look at Shinnosuke, so he could sleep soundly.
